Kagu

“Rhinochetus jubatus, the Kuga ... has powder-down patches that are profusely distributed over the whole body, except toward the remiges and rectrices. The plumage is slaty-grey, with indistinct dark bars on the wings and tail; while the former expanded rufous and white bands appear, varied by black markings; while a long, erectile whitish-grey crest adorns the occiput and nape. The bill and feet are orange and red.” A. H. Evans, 1900
